WSUS and Group Policies

I'm setting up Windows Updates to be deployed using SCCM 2012, and was wondering what, if any, of the "Windows Update" group policy settings apply anymore once you start using SCCM rather than standalone WSUS?

For example, the setting "Specify intranet Microsoft update service location" doesn't seem to apply anymore. I have the value for this setting currently set to "not configured" and my test machines still know the correct server to go to for windows updates (my SUP-enabled SCCM server with WSUS installed). Confusingly enough, the most widely read (and well-written, thank you to the author) installation tutorial actually instructs users to set this value to point to the SCCM/WSUS server which I've read elsewhere is not necessary and my tests seem to confirm.

The other GPO settings such as "Automatic Updates detection frequency" and "Delay Restart for scheduled installations" are all settings that are configurable within SCCM when setting up your Automatic Deployment Rules. In fact, seems like most of these GPO settings are all configurable within SCCM.

So are any of these settings necessary? Is anyone else still using them along with SCCM settings?
